Overcome with excitement, Cyrus insisted that Carey remain beside her on stage at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. She proclaimed the moment 'iconic,' expressing her admiration for Carey, who she had recently seen perform live.

Cyrus' admiration for Mariah Carey was palpable as she recounted how close she came to missing out on this unforgettable moment, which for her, was made even more special by Carey's presence. She reflected on a recent concert of Carey's that she attended, declaring it a phenomenal experience.

Addressing the audience, Cyrus shared her belief that her seating position, the 'lucky No. 3 seat', contributed to the positive outcome. She compared her journey to that of a little boy who desired a butterfly and ended up with a butterfly net.
